In their first year of postgraduate training, interns commonly work shifts that are longer than 24 hours. Extended-duration work shifts are associated with increased risks of automobile crash, particularly during a commute from work. Interns may be at risk for other occupation-related injuries.
To assess the relationship between extended work duration and rates of percutaneous injuries in a diverse population of interns in the United States.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: National prospective cohort study of 2737 of the estimated 18,447 interns in US postgraduate residency programs from July 2002 through May 2003. Each month, comprehensive Web-based surveys that asked about work schedules and the occurrence of percutaneous injuries in the previous month were sent to all participants. Case-crossover within-subjects analyses were performed.
Comparisons of rates of percutaneous injuries during day work (6:30 am to 5:30 pm) after working overnight (extended work) vs day work that was not preceded by working overnight (nonextended work). We also compared injuries during the nighttime (11:30 pm to 7:30 am) vs the daytime (7:30 am to 3:30 pm).
From a total of 17,003 monthly surveys, 498 percutaneous injuries were reported (0.029/intern-month). In 448 injuries, at least 1 contributing factor was reported. Lapse in concentration and fatigue were the 2 most commonly reported contributing factors (64% and 31% of injuries, respectively). Percutaneous injuries were more frequent during extended work compared with nonextended work (1.31/1000 opportunities vs 0.76/1000 opportunities, respectively; odds ratio [OR], 1.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-1.78). Extended work injuries occurred after a mean of 29.1 consecutive work hours; nonextended work injuries occurred after a mean of 6.1 consecutive work hours. Injuries were more frequent during the nighttime than during the daytime (1.48/1000 opportunities vs 0.70/1000 opportunities, respectively; OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.98-2.11).
Extended work duration and night work were associated with an increased risk of percutaneous injuries in this study population of physicians during their first year of clinical training.
在研究生培训的第一年,实习医生通常要值超过24小时的班。长时间的轮班与车祸风险增加有关,尤其是在下班通勤期间。实习医生可能面临其他与职业相关的伤害风险。
评估在美国不同实习医生群体中,延长工作时间与经皮损伤发生率之间的关系。
设计、地点和参与者:2002年7月至2003年5月对美国研究生住院医师培训项目中估计的18447名实习医生中的2737名进行全国前瞻性队列研究。每月向所有参与者发送基于网络的综合调查问卷,询问工作时间表以及前一个月经皮损伤的发生情况。进行了受试者内病例交叉分析。
比较通宵工作(延长工作)后白天工作(上午6:30至下午5:30)期间的经皮损伤发生率与非通宵工作(非延长工作)后白天工作期间的经皮损伤发生率。我们还比较了夜间(晚上11:30至上午7:30)与白天(上午7:30至下午3:30)的损伤情况。
在总共17003份月度调查问卷中,报告了498例经皮损伤(0.029/实习医生·月)。在448例损伤中,至少报告了1个促成因素。注意力不集中和疲劳是最常报告的两个促成因素(分别占损伤的64%和31%)。与非延长工作相比,延长工作期间经皮损伤更频繁(分别为1.31/1000次机会和0.76/1000次机会;优势比[OR]为1.61;95%置信区间[CI]为1.46 - 1.78)。延长工作导致的损伤平均发生在连续工作29.1小时之后;非延长工作导致的损伤平均发生在连续工作6.1小时之后。夜间损伤比白天更频繁(分别为1.48/1000次机会和0.70/1000次机会;OR为2.04;95%CI为1.98 - 2.11)。
在本研究的临床培训第一年的医生群体中,延长工作时间和夜间工作与经皮损伤风险增加有关。
